{at mote marine in TBBC and native shoes on wes} Oh gosh how I love when they come into town.  JB kindly offered to watch the three kiddos so we could go out to dinner one night together.  I’m not sure we even remembered what a non-kid interrupted dinner, just the two ofus was like.  But we sure enjoyed it!!

One Month with Wesley

I’m behind, which is the theme of my life right now so bear with me.  But better late than never. Wesley at one month! It’s been so much fun seeing you come alive; eyes more alert, smiles, coos… I eat it all up.  You are still a sleepy head but are beginning not to tolerate […]

My parents say I was a lot like content little Wes as a baby – and it tricked them into (thankfully!) going for four.  Which is sorta what I hope our ending number is – four. Lord willing, of course.  And who talks about another baby two weeks after having one?  When you have a […]

Life Lately: in between snuggles

Just some randomness from a sleep deprived, happy mama …  Things that have been different this time around… For one thing,  it’s been nice not having to go back to work right away.  I was literally working the week after Tuck was born, which is slightly crazy of me, but was necessary at the time.

PSA for the belly basket lovers

{rug} So I have been pining over the Serena and Lily belly baskets for.ever.  or at least at first sight.  But I could never bite the bullet as they were over $100.  Even though you get two for that price! Then randomly I found them on diapers.com + the 20% off discount if you are a […]
